Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to see in which shops they had most success haggling, and John Lewis shoppers had a success rate of 72% - so it's definitely worth a try if you're feeling brave. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more haggling tips.
Shop in the sale. John Lewis has a few sales throughout the year which usually range from 'up to 20% off' to 'up to 70% off'.
Check other retailers against its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' price promise. In September this year, John Lewis bought back its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' price match policy which it had previously axed in August 2022. If you've purchased an item but find it for a lower price at one of its listed retailers within seven days of buying, it’ll refund the difference.
Check similar retailers, eg, Selfridges. If you're not committed to buying from John Lewis, check for deals from other department stores such as Selfridges, where you may find there's a better offer.
